Two years ago Spice Girl Melanie Brown married Stephen Belafonte shortly after Eddie Murphy dumped her on TV. And we’ve all been waiting since then for news they’re getting divorced, but it seems like things are actually going very smoothly for them. Apparently Stephen has reached that critical “comfortable” stage in a marriage. No, not when you’re so comfortable you let yourself go. So comfortable he’s borrowing makeup – or at least lipstick – from his wife. Another important relationship milestone.
WHILE DAVID BECKHAM makes fashion statements with weird beards and tattoos another Spice spouse goes one step further.
MEL B’S hubby STEPHEN BELAFONTE borrowed her bright red lippy before leaving their London hotel yesterday.
And he put on his best pout as he linked arms with the guest relations manager from the Mayfair.
Mel, looking fantastic in ripped jeans and boots, seemed to find her bloke’s use of make up hilarious.
The couple, who married in 2007, have been staying at the swanky hotel for a couple of weeks while they attend various evening events and party with pals.
And they have been spending time with JORDAN’S ex PETER ANDRE, who once dated Mel, while they are in town. Could the red lippy be a dig at Pete’s cross-dressing love rival ALEX REID?
[From the Sun]
If Stephen is wearing bright red lipstick to mock Alex Reid, he’s definitely several degrees removed from the situation. He and Mel are friends with Peter Andre (who Mel dated back in 1996), who’s divorcing Katie Price, who’s now dating cage fighter Alex Reid. It’d be a pretty immature and stupid reason to be wearing lipstick. Katie got a lot of attention for recently admitting that Alex is a cross dresser, and once “accidentally” kissed a Thai “ladyboy” which is essentially a very convincing transsexual.
My guess? One of Mel’s daughters put it on Stephen, and he left it. When my mom was a little girl she used to paint her dad’s toenails bright red. He’s the most old-fashioned, proud man I’ve ever known – but he’d still go to the grocery store in sandals to make her laugh. To me, the particular shade of lipstick screams “a 10-year-old did this” more than anything else.

LOL! This is hilarious. It’s obviously a joke. Part for media attention, but mainly because they were having a laugh. I don’t read further into it.

Dude! That’s kinda scary.

I don’t care what anyone says, No real man would go around wearing make-up…even for a laugh. I mean I know Eddie Murphy dresses up as women a lot during his acting roles…I guess thats what she likes…I know i wouldn’t want to walk around with a man who comfortably wears lipstick.

Wow, Tiffani, I’d say lighten up a bit. I know a lot of “real” men who would do just about anything for a laugh, esp. something as harmless as taking a short walk with lipstick on. A real man is comfortable enough with himself to have a little joke on his behalf.

tiffani – see anything funny about the following?
I don’t care what anyone says, No real woman would go around wearing slacks …even for a laugh. I mean I know Angelina Jolie dresses up as men a lot during her acting roles…I guess thats what she likes…I know i wouldn’t want to walk around with a woman who comfortably wears pants.

“A real man is comfortable enough with himself to have a little joke on his behalf.”
amen, mollyb.
JayBird, that is a thoroughly cute story about your grandfather.

I doubt that he is mocking anyone. I think he just felt like wearing lipstick. If he wants to wear lipstick, then no excuses necessary.

That’s incorrect! LMAO!
It does take a certain amount of confidence in one’s masculinity to pull that off, but I swear…he’s a little TOO cute in that makeup! LMAO AGAIN!

You know what happens when you wear lipstick that red. It takes two days for the stuff to stop staining your lips, no matter how much makeup remover you use.
Aside from the red lipstick, he looks a little odd. Ah well, his wife seems to be enjoying it.

I can’t even follow the divorcing married cross dressing gay(?) whatever the hell else is going on here…I think the lipstick is the least of the things that need to be explained.

Psh. My boyfriend wore a pleated skirt and nylons for two days at a convention we went to. He’ll admit it was a blatant excuse for attention, but I was rather proud of him for being confident enough to do what he did.
And trust me, he’s a real man.

Well the only thing that he is doing is stirring up controversy over his sexuality.
Apparently he wants to appear as a cross dressing transsexual….and if this is supposed to be a joke and everyone is supposed to laugh at how cute he is being, he just better stop and think that this joke can backfire on him and follow him around for a long time….cause its got me thinkin….

@ yadira – ITA, the red is really making his eyes ‘POP’! LMAO.
Obviously they’re doing it for a laugh and some attention (after all it IS Mel B. she loves the spotlight) and I think it’s funny. I can’t wait to see the rest of his Halloween Costume.
Also, I’d rather see Stephen in full on drag than be subjected to another one of Posh’s 80s reject, shoulder-pad nightmare, baggy, size negative 2 excuse for an outfit any day.

He looks like he has eye makeup on too. LOL
That reminds me of a photo I saw once of Val Kilmer walking around in Birkenstocks with red painted toe nails. At first it really freaked me out, but then I realized that he has little girls (a little girl?) who no doubt painted them. And then if was funny. But this guy, I dunno.

the make up is too well done to be the acts of a child. i believe in the taunting Alex Reid theory. it’s more fun. lol! you gotta admire his confidence in his sexuality. lol!

hey quick note: in Thailand “ladyboys” are generally classified as their own gender, not ‘a very convincing transsexual’. I might be wrong here but I’m pretty sure, there are 3 genders accepted in Thailand: male, female and male/female.

Sorry it looks too natural on him. There’s more to this story.

This doesn’t look like a joke to me. He is totally into it. Maybe he’s a transvestite. So what? It wouldn’t surprise me, he is an odd duck. (And that’s not a dig at transvestites, just him).

I have just seen the their reality show and he came across as gay to me, so I looked them up and I find bright red/fuscia lips on him. Hollywood folks are strange and open to anything.
